labyrinth

The Cornwell Center is pleased to have a permanent Labyrinth for use by individuals, couples and groups. Feel free to walk it as often as you’d like: it is an ancient archetype for healing and transformation that can help bring into more conscious balance the body, mind and spiritual aspects of ourselves.

The Labyrinth comes to us from the Middle Ages through so many diverse routes that no one point of view owns it. The circle is known in every culture, is patterned on the sun and the moon, and suggests a sacred path for renewal and self-alignment, peace and change. You can best experience our Labyrinth by walking it, by being in flow with it, and be being held in its structure.

The basic instruction is to pay close attention to what thoughts arise for you as you walk, letting any meanings unfold for you. If walking the Labyrinth doesn’t “make sense” to you the first time, maybe it will the second or third – it can be very subtle. And don’t be concerned if walking the Labyrinth never makes much sense – this isn’t something to achieve, just to experience.
